Choose which apps skip the VPN.

Per-app split tunneling lets a few apps use your normal connection while everything else stays inside the encrypted tunnel. It works on WireGuard® and OpenVPN alike, which not every VPN can say.

When split tunneling helps

Banking apps

Some banks block logins from VPN IP addresses. Let that one app use your normal connection.

Casting & smart TVs

Chromecast and TV remotes need to see your local network. Keep them outside the tunnel.

Local devices

Printers, NAS drives and smart-home apps that talk to devices on your home Wi‑Fi.

Local services

Delivery and ride apps that need your real location, while everything else stays private.

How it works

Android lets a VPN app decide, app by app, which traffic enters the tunnel. When you pick apps in Aultra VPN, those apps are left out of the tunnel and connect directly, exactly as if the VPN were off for them alone. Every other app on your phone stays encrypted and routed through Aultra VPN.

Aultra VPN applies your list on both protocols: WireGuard® excludes the apps from its tunnel, and OpenVPN bypasses them the same way. Switching protocols never switches your choices off.

Apps that bypass the VPN are not protected

They use your real internet connection and your real IP address, and the kill switch doesn't block them. Only exclude apps you trust on the network you're using.
